Dave Franco plays a huge part in the plot of Warm Bodies. Although he may lose the girl (Teresa Palmer) to a zombie, it is through his characterization that our zombie named "R" is able to find common ground with Palmer's Julie. We met Franco for an exclusive video interview where the actor was just a tad on the excited side to join the legacy of zombie movies that continues with his that is so different, as eloquently teased in this Warm Bodies trailer.

"On paper, people are going to see it as another zombie movie. But, it's got a fresh tone. it's a zombie movie, but you're laughing with it. It's self aware. It's sweet too," Franco said. What are his favorites? "My top two are 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead."

Dave Franco Exclusive Interview

Franco has been on quite a run of late, with his turns in films as different as 21 Jump Street, Greenberg and Fright Night. The actor, who is also quite an accomplished writer, believes that working across genres keeps him inspired. "I do want to do a little bit of everything," Franco said.

As a writer, Franco also tells us what he looks for in a script for him to want to be involved. "You take a movie like this, where zombies exist, even within that world, everything has to feel real and logical," Franco admitted. "I look for the logic in stories."

Those of you who watched the Super Bowl yesterday most likely saw lots of new trailers, and ate cheese in at least 3 different forms. We've already shown you the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer, and here's the spot that aired during the broadcast for Oz the Great and Powerful:

Oz The Great and Powerful Big Game Trailer

James Franco stars as Oscar Diggs, a seedy circus magician who magically transports to the land of Oz. There, he slowly learns to use his magic compassionately, and eventually transforms into the fabled Wizard of Oz.

Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz star as the three witches, with Zach Braff, Abigail Spencer, Ted Raimi, and Bruce Campbell also star.

Sam Raimi directs the movie, which premieres March 8. Check out some Oz the Great and Powerful stills for more.

Pacific Rim is the most anticipated monsters-vs.-robots movie since that adaptation of the young adult about a high school girl who has to choose between the hunky monster or the sullen, dreamy robot.

Check out a new batch of stills from Pacific Rim:

Charlie Hunnam stars as Raleigh Antrobus, a former pilot of monster-fighting robots called Jaegers. When the monsters return, Raleigh comes out of retirement to join a trainee played by Rinko Kikuchi to pilot an old Jaeger and save mankind.

Idris Elba (Thor: The Dark World), Charlie Day (who had some hilarious Horrible Bosses quotes), Burn Gorman, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman also star.

Guillermo Del Toro directs the film, which will hit theaters July 12. Watch the Pacific Rim trailer for another look.

You've seen the Oz the Great and Powerful, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailers. Now take a look at the spot for The Lone Ranger that aired during the game:

The Lone Ranger Super Bowl Trailer

Armie Hammer stars as John Reid, a Texas Ranger who reinvents himself as The Lone Ranger after being left for dead in the desert. He is joined by a sidekick named Tonto, played by Johnny Depp.

William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Barry Pepper, Helena Bonham Carter (Les Miserables), Mason Cook, Ruth Wilson, and James Badge Dale (Iron Man 3) also star.

Gore Verbinski directs, with Jerry Bruckheimer (who is responsible for, among many other things, all your favorite Jack Sparrow quotes) producing. The Lone Ranger premieres July 3.

We've been catching you up all day on the ads that played during the Super Bowl, including the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer. Now we've got another one for you: Fast and Furious 6.

Fast & Furious 6 Super Bowl Trailer

Vin Diesel returns as Dominic Toretto in the sixth film in the action franchise. Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez (see what we thought of her lat film in our Resident Evil: Retribution review), Jordana Brewster, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Sung Kang, Luke Evans (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), and Giana Carano round out the star-studded cast.

Justin Lin directs the film, which represents his third time directing a movie in this franchise. Chris Morgan returns to write the script for the fourth time in the franchise. Fast and Furious 6 opens May 24.

Super Bowl trailers were off a bit this year in terms of volume, but not quality. Last year saw a dozen different flicks hawking their potential during the big game. This year, we had seven... but what a set it was! We want to know which of the sizzling seven got you going by voting in the latest Movie Fanatic poll.

There was the Star Trek: Into Darkness Super Bowl trailer that did nothing but send the already high anticipation of fans everywhere through the roof. We can gather even more how Benedict Cumberbatch fits into the film... but much mystery still remains.

Then, the World War Z Super Bowl spot starring Brad Pitt wowed as audiences finally saw more into the world that first terrified us on the pages of Max Brooks' book.

Was your favorite the Oz: The Great and Powerful Super Bowl big game trailer that continued to give us great wonder as to what on earth this film could be? From every single sneak peek we've had, our fascination with this new world of Oz compels further.

One of the most surprising teasers to air during the big game that saw the Baltimore Ravens emerge champs was the Fast and Furious 6 Super Bowl trailer that showed why the franchise was so invigorated by the last installment: The addition of Dwayne Johnson. This time out, it appears our new franchise favorite is teaming up with the racing crew. Color us intrigued...

Honestly, the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer had us vexed. It was not so much of a trailer as a clip that truly left us hanging. Sure, that was the point of the Marvel Studios spot. Of all the Super Sunday teasers, Movie Fanatic has to give it to the filmmakers behind Iron Man 3 for putting its movie out there, based solely on one scene. And what a scene it was... Iron Man rescuing people falling from a disabled Air Force One! Wow.

Before the game even began, what could be described as the most thrilling trailer aired: The Lone Ranger Super Bowl trailer. Tell me that ending on the top of the train isn't enough to get you in the seats this summer?

Lastly, The Rock went two-for-two with his second spot to air in front of the biggest TV audience of the year. The Snitch Super Bowl spot set the stage for the based on a true story action flick that shows how far a father will go to protect his son.

What was your favorite Super Bowl trailer?

Until last year, Jason Moore was a veteran director of stage Musicals, putting on everything from Les Miserables toAvenue Q. Then, last September, Moore made a seamless transition into film with the Musical Comedy Pitch Perfect (see how well he did at our Pitch Perfect quotes page).

Now, he's ditching the "musical" part, as Moore is set to direct the comedy The Nest, written by long-time SNL writer Paula Pell. And who is eyeing the starring role in the new film? None other than the Reigning Queen of Comedy, Tina Fey (who is also producing).

The film follows two sisters who spend one final weekend in their childhood home before it gets sold. So if Fey finalizes the roll, all eyes will be on how will play alongside her (Amy Poehler? Elizabeth Banks? Kristen Wiig? Melissa McCarthy? Rebel Wilson? Anyone else with hilarious Bridesmaids quotes?).

Fey is set to co-star in The Muppets...Again, which begins production shortly.

Check out an extended look at the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer:

Iron Man 3 Extended Look Super Bowl Ad

Get it? "Extended look?"

Fans can catch the third installment of the Iron Man franchise beginning May 3. The cast consists of some returning stars and some new faces, including Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale, Jon Favreau, and Ben Kingsley (The Dictator).

Shane Black directs the film, which he co-wrote with Drew Pearce.

We've got three new stills from the upcoming comedy The Big Wedding. Take a look:

Robert De Niro (who has some excellent Silver Linings Playbook quotes) and Diane Keaton star as a long-divorced couple who must pretend to still be married for the sake of their son's wedding. Ben Barnes, Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried (Les Miserables), Topher Grace, Susan Sarandon, and Robin Williams also star.

Justin Zackham wrote and directed the film, which is based on the French film Mon Frère Se Marie. The Big Wedding premieres April 26.

The cast of Side Effects sits down with Movie Fanatic to talk about the thriller from the mind of screenwriter Scott Z. Burns and director Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, The Informant). Channing Tatum, Catherine Zeta Jones, Rooney Mara and Jude Law all star in the psychological drama that will have you guessing until the final moments of the film.

One has to start any chat with this cast with Tatum and the phenomenal 13 months he has had dating back to Haywire in January 2012 through Side Effects, which opens Friday, February 8. “I’ve been lucky,” Tatum said.

In between those Steven Soderbergh-directed bookends, Tatum starred in Magic Mike, 21 Jump Street, The Vow and 10 Years. “We worked so hard on every single one and you don’t know which ones are gonna work and which ones aren’t. I’ve gotten to work with some really amazingly talented people and that has helped the ones that worked work. You gotta keep doing the stories you love and the characters you love and are drawn to.”

There is much to be blissful about with this film, as teased in the Side Effects trailer. Zeta Jones found it difficult to talk about a film that has so many thrilling plot pivots. "This is probably the hardest movie to discuss to people because any given moment we could realize the wonder plot and the twists and turns that occur throughout the movie,” she admitted.

But she felt proud of one fact, she portrays a doctor -- a role that she felt would impress her parents.

“For me playing a doctor, let’s just put it that I try and be as professional on the outset as one would think all good doctors are -- but my character lies much deeper. The relationship that lies between Jude and myself and Rooney and myself runs much deeper than your first impression of me as a doctor would be," Jones said.

"I’m thrilled that Steven cast me as a doctor because I never went to college and I always wanted an MD after my name. I’m really quite flattered that you fulfilled my mother’s dream.”

Law, who plays a psychiatrist in the middle of the Mara mystery, emerged with a greater appreciation for what these individuals do. “Obviously a lot of the discussion around this film is around the abuse of medicine and perhaps using medicine, of relying on medicine for the wrong reasons,” Law said. “Of course, medicine is also used for an awful lot of good reasons too. I left this job feeling really respectful of psychiatry as a profession.”

Mara, the subject of many onscreen psychological evaluations and the one who reels from the Side Effects of the drugs she’s prescribed, shared her co-star's feelings. “I think I’ve always had a respect for psychiatry as a profession. Certainly this movie furthers that,” Mara said.

Although given the vast moral compass of the professionals in Side Effects, her opinion on docs would not be shaped by those in Soderbergh’s picture. "I don’t know if the characters in the film left me with more faith in psychiatry but I’m glad Jude feels that way,” she said, laughing.

Side Effects is also quite timely, the cast asserted. Whether American or British, each member of the film's ensemble found it relevant to our current discussion of mental health. Our Movie Fanatic Side Effects exclusive trailer highlights that fact.

“There was this British stiff upper lip where psychotherapy and depression and basically your emotions were quashed and it became that British stiff upper lip. Don’t put your dirty laundry out. Who cares about how you feel? You’re sad, buck up, you’ll be fine tomorrow,” Jones said.

“Now, it’s starting to come up much more in the open and people are starting to talk much more on television about issues. I think in America it has this much more public feel. Maybe it’s just easier speaking about it which I think is very good.”

Law also saw it tackling the broader issue of the over-prescribing of drugs in society as a whole. “I think also if you look at the theme of our general reliance on prescription pills, I think that’s quite universal actually,” Law said. “Whether it’s something that’s discussed or not discussed, I think it’s a definite common theme to the story in the modern age which most people would recognize.”

Jones believes regardless of what side of the pond you live on, we’re all victims to a quick fix. “Whether it’s texting or you want this quick or it’s a movie you press a button and it’s on, culturally, we’ve become everything instantaneously,” Jones added.

“I think with prescription medicine it’s kind of the same thing. If there’s one thing you can take that’s gonna make all this go away then I’ll try it. It’s become a cumulative that comes from a culture of quick-fixes.”

Much of the cast has worked with the astounding Side Effects director before, but not Mara. She felt like the new kid on the block. “My first day, I was definitely kind of nervous but they were all pretty nice so it made it pretty easy,” Mara said.

“I just keep coming back because Steven’s so pretty and beautiful and he gives great massages on set. That’s really it and I don’t really love anything else about him,” Tatum added as everyone laughed. In fact, it appears that Tatum has his own reasons why he hopes Soderbergh would not retire after Side Effects. “I wish he would just keep making movies so I can keep getting those massages.”

“He rubbed my feet when I was pregnant in Traffic and that’s the only reason why I keep coming back. He looked after a pregnant woman so well and I just knew I’d be in good hands,” Jones added.

Mara, wanting to turn serious for a moment, talked about what it meant to her to star in a Steven Soderbergh movie.

“I really wanted to work with Steven for a while. I can’t remember why I wanted to now that I have," she said and laughed. "I read the script and I just loved it. I thought it was really smart and interesting and like Jude said that really doesn’t happen that often. The cast that he had attached to it, like they said, it was kind of a no-brainer."

Every film she makes alters and influences her, and Side Effects was no different. Simply looking at this Side Effects clip, one can see why.

“I think every job that you do changes or affects you in some way. I certainly went into it thinking I knew a lot about depression and when I started researching it, I realized I didn’t know a lot about depression. Certainly that part of it changed me. I feel like I have a lot more compassion now for depression," Mara said.

"There’s a lot of things that we were able to do that were really eye opening.”

Lastly, since Mara has appeared in mostly dark fare -- including most recently The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -- we wondered if there would be a lighter movie in her future. “I don’t see a rom-com in my future -- but never say never,” Mara admitted. “I’m just not funny. I think you’d be really mad or disappointed."

We just reported that Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed that there will be stand-alone movies mixed into the Star Wars universe, in between Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. And we've also heard rumors that Yoda may be getting the first stand-alone.

Who do you think should get their own stand-alone film?

When Jason Bateman saw Melissa McCarthy dishing those priceless Bridesmaids quotes, he knew his latest flick -- Identity Thief -- had to change. The film was about a man (Bateman) who has his identity stolen and life practically ruined by a con artist -- a role originally written for a man.

"I went to the premiere of Bridesmaids and the following morning I called Universal and said, 'I’d really like to work with this woman. Can we please change the thief from a guy to a girl and make it Melissa?' They could not have liked the idea better," Bateman said as the duo sat down with Movie Fanatic. 

McCarthy had yet to become America's newest sweetheart, so Bateman -- also a producer on the film -- felt confident they could cast her. "Fortunately this was the Bridesmaids premiere so it was not yet in America’s hands so we still had a chance for her. I took her out to a quick meal and had her sign something while she was passed out from the booze [laughs]."

We met the stars, who show off their high humor quotient in the Identity Thief trailer, for a chat about their priceless comic chemistry and much more.

Movie Fanatic: You two were so fabulous together...

Jason Bateman: I'm a little bit better, right? Thank you!

Movie Fanatic: [Laughs] Yeah, sure. You’ve both done some crazy things in the name of comedy. Anything that is too much?

Jason Bateman: She’ll shit in a sink for a laugh.

Melissa McCarthy: I was ill [laughs]! I don’t know, for me so long as it makes sense for the character on the worst day and the most extreme circumstance, I like to see how far you can push it. But it’s not funny anymore if it doesn’t make sense. I don’t like to do anything that’s mean spirited. I don’t find it funny. I’d rather be the jackass than make fun of somebody else. It feels too cheap and easy.

Jason Bateman: Well said, I second that.

Movie Fanatic: Jason, Identity Thief director Seth Gordon told us you’re the best straight man in the business…

Jason Bateman: Well they don’t have those takes in the movie and there were a lot of them where I broke up. There were only a few where I kept a straight face and you only need one. She makes it very difficult because she does it in a way that’s different on ever single take, so even if you know what’s coming -- it’s gonna be a little bit different.

Movie Fanatic: You two spent a lot of time together cramped in a car with cameras in there. Did it ever get too much?

Melissa McCarthy: The car scenes were really my favorite. You’re confined in this car and a lot of times you’re locked in on both sides because they have camera rigs so you literally can’t get out even if you wanted to. So you get cabin fever and you get punchy and sitting next to that (points to Jason) for so long of a time -- I had to do a lot of weird stuff like stare at his forehead instead of his eyes because I couldn’t keep it together. But, those are my favorite things because you start to go a little loopy.

Movie Fanatic: Melissa, as famously shown off in the second Identity Thief movietrailer, you are pretty good at hitting a guy in the throat to knock him off his feet. If you had to defend yourself would you go for the punch to the neck?

Melissa McCarthy: I believe I would do a sharp kick to the balls and when they drop to a lower height then I’d also get the throat. I’d combine them [laughs]!

Movie Fanatic: How do you get in the mindset to do such physical comedy? Melissa, did you ever get hurt?

Melissa McCarthy: I got hurt a lot and I’m apparently an idiot. After the movie I was like, "I’m not very bright." There was that stunt woman there for so much of this. I think I just get really excited to do it and I don’t think about doing it 42 times. I think, "I’ll fall down the stairs!"

Jason Bateman: Especially you getting hit by that car. That would have been an easy one to give to the stunt woman for like an extra 20 bucks or something...

Melissa McCarthy: It's actually 26 dollars.

Movie Fanatic: Now Jason, how on earth do you ready to physically attack this beautiful lady?

Jason Bateman: She pisses you off and you go. This is what happens...

Melissa McCarthy: He had no problem, let’s start there.

Jason Bateman: It was not difficult. She starts running that thing. I saw the guitar there when we were rehearsing and we were trying to figure out a way to stop her from leaving because we didn’t want to do the tackling of her yet and I said, “What if I take her off her feet with this guitar?”

Melissa McCarthy: I think what he said was, “What if I hit her in the face with this guitar?” Kind of laughing and I was like, “We’re kidding right?” But Seth (Gordon, director) seemed to keep laughing and that made me nervous [laughs]. Then you started fiddling with the guitar and I thought, “Oh God, I’m gonna get hit in the face with the guitar.”

Jason Bateman: I was taking practice swings with it. We built a helmet that could fit underneath the stunt woman’s wig so she could have a good portion of her face protected and a little of her shoulder and we spent the night building that, well not we, I of course was sleeping comfortably in a bed.

Movie Fanatic: I heard that you actually throw a Panini maker at her.

Jason Bateman: That was a mistake -- regrettable.

Melissa McCarthy: I don’t know about that. There were about 14 fake Panini machines that way about a quarter of an ounce because they’re foam and one real one that weighs about 32 pounds...

Jason Bateman: It was a little bit shinier...like a fish.

Melissa McCarthy: He’s like a raccoon just goes for the shiny one. The first time we did that run to the door, he picked up the real one and let that thing fly towards my head...

Jason Bateman: Missed her...

Melissa McCarthy: And he was like, “I didn’t know that it wasn’t a fake one.” There was like a 32-pound difference!

Jason Bateman: Well I didn’t know that there were any light ones. I thought they were all real. I thought clearly someone’s checked with Melissa on this.

Melissa McCarthy: It was a dicey shoot.

Movie Fanatic: Melissa your character in this does some horrible things and probably ruins some lives but we’ll pulling for you all the way. How do you straddle that line and make us cheer for you when you’re kind of an unlikable character.

Melissa McCarthy: I think that’s a testament to the good script and Craig Mazin writing a fully developed person. I wanted to make sure she wasn’t just a one-dimensional, mustache-twirling villain. I love the thought of someone doing criminal acts but not doing them to be menacing. She does them because she’s lonely and doesn’t have anyone. She kind of steals identities so she can go out to a store and pretend to have these lives. Pretend to have a husband. Pretend to have a family. Pretend to be engaged. She’s not even stealing from people to be menacing. She’s just lonely.

Columbia Pictures has released the synopsis for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which began filming this week.

The film will follow Peter Parker as he nears high school graduation, and struggles to keep his promise to Captain Stacy to stay away from Gwen. When his old friend Harry returns, and a new villain named Electro comes to town, everything changes.

Columbia has also confirmed that Paul Giamatti is a part of the cast. While his character wasn't included in the press release, we can assume that he will play the Rhino, as rumored last week.

Andrew Garfield returns as Parker, with Emma Stone returning as Gwen Stacy. Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, and Jamie Foxx (who had some excellent Django Unchainedquotes last year) join on.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has a release date set for May 2, 2014.

Watch the ceremony on February 24, and follow our Oscar predictions to prepare for the night!

Nymphomaniac is a new erotic drama from Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg as a sex-addicted woman named Joe. When an older man finds her beaten unconscious in an alley, he takes her in and she recounts to him her erotic life.

Check out the first image from the film of Gainsbourg, well, passed out in an alley:

Stellan Skarsgard (Thor: The Dark World)stars as the older man, named Seligman. Shia LaBeouf (who had some memorable Lawless quotes last year), Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, and Uma Thurman also star.

Nymphomaniac will be released in both a hard-core and soft-core version later this year.

After first opening in late October in the UK, Skyfall has just passed The Dark Knight Rises in the worldwide box office, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of all time

Skyfall received a big boost two weeks ago, when it opened in China on January 21, rocketing the film into seventh, with a current total worldwide gross of $1.094 billion. The next film in its sights is The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

While the film could still climb another spot or two on the list, it has a long way to go to reach the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar, which earned $2.782 billion worldwide.

Check out some Skyfall quotes to relive the latest Bond film.

Yesterday Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that they would be producing Star Wars stand-alone films to go along with the main series. Rumor had it that Yoda would be the first character to get a stand-alone.

But when we asked you who should get a Star-Wars stand-alone, your answer was clear: Han Solo and Boba Fett! Well, it looks like Disney knows their audience pretty well.

EW is reporting that writers Simon Kinberg and Lawrence Kasdan are working on a script for a Han Solo origin story, and a bounty-hunting tale with Boba Fett as the main character.

Star Wars Episode VII will be directed by J.J. Abrams and is expected to be released some time in 2015. There is no expected release date on the stand-alones, though they will likely come after Episode VII.

The Han Solo Movie would take place some time between episodes III and IV, and would require a new actor to play young Han. Who do you think could pull it off? Let us know in the comments section below!

With news just announced that Disney is creating a Han Solo stand alone movie, fans of the iconic character could not be more thrilled. Now, let's get down to brass tacks and discuss who should play the young rascal in the Han Solo solo movie. Can you imagine all the new Han Solo quotes we'll get? Color us just slightly excited. And what role, if any, Harrison Ford will have is yet to be determined.

There are so many talented actors out there who could nail it in the part that is supposedly taking place between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. We know who we want and he is among the 10 below, but this isn't about us (at least yet!). We want to know:

Who should play young Han Solo?
